Synopsis: A design guide for an integrated BYOD solution with Bradford Network's Network Sentry and Brocade's campus network products.
With the dramatic increase in the number of mobile devices connecting to the campus network, the task of securing, monitoring and managing access to the campus network becomes challenging. A new trend, Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), has grown popular but multiples the security challenges. On one hand, campus networks that support BYOD provide the flexibility for anyone to use any client device (wired or wireless), but the assumption is the network infrastructure can intelligently secure traffic by identifying, authenticating and administering network access control (NAC) with minimal administrator intervention. This assumption doesn't always hold up unless the campus network design explicitly includes a BYOD use case.
This guide shows how to design a BYOD solution with Brocade campus network products and Brocade partner Bradford's Network Sentry™ appliance.
The Network Sentry NAC appliance provides automatic and efficient device on-boarding and monitoring of client traffic including mobile devices. This ensures uniform NAC policies for wired and wireless connections improving security without undue burden on the network administrator.
The following Brocade platforms are used in this solution.
Combined with Bradford's Network Sentry network access control (NAC) appliance, Brocade offers cost-effective bring-your-own-device (BYOD) solutions for campus networks scaling from a small building to large metropolitan area configurations.
Brocade's ICX Series and FCX Series switches support stacking for improved performance and reliability at the edge. At the campus core or distribution layer, options include the ICX 6610 stack, the SX chassis and the larger MLX chassis. The ICX series offers Brocade's innovative mix-and-match stacking extending Layer 3 services on a few switches to all switches in the stack. Both the ICX and FCX Series provided long distance stacking links permitting a single stack to extend beyond a single wiring closet.
Brocade's Mobility Series of access points and controllers centralize wired and wireless management; optimize the wireless data path with direct forwarding of data traffic between access points. Brocade Mobility Controllers can be clustered for high-availability and can scale up to as many as 1,024 access points per controller.
Integration of wired and wireless management is increasingly important as wireless device connectivity continues to grow. And, integrated solutions with partner applications for NAC appliances, such as Bradford simplify network security for wired and wireless devices.
With a wide range of wired connectivity choices, support for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, 1, 10, 40 GbE stacking, 1/10 GbE uplinks, mix-and-match stacking, smart WAPs and scalable WLAN controllers, Brocade provides network designers with a cost-effective and flexible set of building blocks for the campus network.
This design guide is based on Brocade's Campus LAN Infrastructure: Base Reference Architecture. It describes how to design a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solution using Network Sentry appliance from Bradford, a Brocade partner. The design includes two campus topologies, an advanced core/edge topology using Brocade's HyperEdge® architecture, and a traditional core/distribution/access topology.
This document is intended for solution, network and IT architects who are evaluating and deploying BYOD solutions for their campus network.
This design guide provides guidance and recommendations for an integrated BYOD solution with Bradford's Network Sentry and Brocade's campus network products.
The following documents are valuable resources for the designer. In addition, any Brocade release notes that have been published for the FastIron, NetIron and Mobility operating systems should be reviewed.

The content in this guide was developed by the following key contributors.
Date Version Description2013-04-09 1.0 Initial Release
This design guide is based on Brocade's Campus Network Infrastructure, Base Reference Architecture, (Campus Reference Architecture) as shown below. The Campus Reference Architecture provides a rich set of flexible, wired and wireless building blocks providing cost-effective scalability for a wide range of campus environments.

The reference architecture can be applied to traditional core/distribution/access topologies spanning multiple buildings, or for a single school, hospital, or remote building using an optimized HyperEdge core/edge topology. The diagram below illustrates the range of design templates.

The Brocade HyperEdge Architecture is designed to easily support integration of partner solutions such as, Bradford Network Sentry NAC appliance. The following sections review the business requirements, design requirements and special considerations for a successful BYOD solution using the Bradford Network Sentry NAC appliance.
With the growth of smart phones and tablet computers and the growth of web-hosted computing platforms, many IT organizations are being pushed by users and management to deploy a flexible, secure BYOD solution in their campus network. Modern users are accustomed to the power and convenience of their smart phones and tablet computers and expect to seamlessly use them anywhere, anytime; at school, at work or off-site. For example, in healthcare, many doctors demand seamless use of their personal devices and expect unfettered access to hospital information anywhere, anytime. University students expect the campus network will support the latest portable devices they use; failure to meet that demand can adversely affect recruitment.
While users create a pull for BYOD solutions, there is also a push from the cost savings available if IT does not procure and maintain personal devices. With a proven BYOD solution IT not only satisfies user demand for their personal devices while at work, but eliminates the overhead of user device acquisition, support and maintenance. By shifting equipment ownership to the user, IT budgets are focused on the service delivery rather than device support.
The primary driver for BYOD solutions is user mobility. Users expect their personal device of choice to access all authorized resources needed for their job. BYOD solutions must secure wireless access via a range of devices, tablet, smartphone, and laptop, at all wireless WLAN Access Points (WAP) in the network. In the past, wired access was limited to a fixed desktop location. Today, a desktop computer is commonly a laptop computer with a WiFi card so users expect to undock and move their device anywhere they need to use it. Therefore, BYOD security has to extend to the wired as well as the wireless network.
Another key requirement of a BYOD solution is the increasing bandwidth use in the campus network. When users have multiple devices, engage in collaboration from any location using peer-to-peer connections, and access image, streaming video and video conferencing, then existing campus networks with limited bandwidth (10/100 Mbps) device connections become congested.
This guide helps network designers build a BYOD solution that meets the requirements for secure user mobility across wired and wireless networks, simplifies the network design, and delivers necessary network performance.
Brocade networking products are designed to deliver line-rate Layer 2-3 forwarding, and provide information about traffic flows through built-in hardware-based sFlow monitors. This enables real-time delivery and analysis of network traffic to a variety of security, reporting, and compliance devices.
The Bradford Network Sentry NAC appliance acts as an SNMP-based Network Management System (NMS) receiving SNMP traps to detect wired client/device connections. However for wireless devices, detection is based on the wireless infrastructure using MAC-authentication; Network Sentry has a built-in RADIUS server for identification/isolation.
Network Sentry requires Layer 3 connectivity to the access layer switch and attached WAPs to potentially change a client from production VLAN to isolation VLAN, or to assign proper VLAN access based on a role. The isolation VLAN(s) can terminate at a distribution layer switch and route back to Network Sentry appliance that provides network services including DHCP, DNS and RADIUS. After the initial identification and authentication, all device traffic is re-directed to the appropriate production network service or blocked if the device is not authorized to connect.
Brocade switches have a built-in secure SNMP server with Link Up, Link Down traps that are sent to the Network Sentry appliance NMS Trap receiver. If the switch also uses SNMP for management and monitoring by tools such as Brocade Network Advisor (BNA) or other management applications, additional SNMP hosts are configured.
Brocade Mobility Wireless Access-Points (WAP) support both MAC and 802.1 x/EAP authentication for wireless security across all wireless devices.
Campus networks frequently are deployed using the traditional three-tier architecture: access, distribution, and core or backbone. Many existing campus networks were built with technology that was new a decade or more ago. Consequently, choke points and bandwidth limitations can be exposed by BYOD projects that require 1 GbE connectivity at the edge and PoE+ power for high-bandwidth 802.11n capable WAPs.
For this reason, this guide includes designs that address the requirements to upgrade the campus network beyond just adding a NAC appliance. In order to help off-set the costs of upgrading access switches, Brocade ICX switches and the HyperEdge architecture can eliminate the distribution tier reducing equipment, maintenance and operating cost that can greatly offset the cost of network upgrades.
A successful BYOD integration is phased. Group policies and authentication rules are implemented after a careful study of the business needs. The phases of a BYOD implementation include:
Solution Design Process (click to enlarge)
During design, base requirements are gathered. The existing network is reviewed and BYOD integration points (all Layer 2 / Layer 3 boundaries) are identified. Next, a complete audit of use cases with expected outcomes should be conducted during the design phase. For example, the following questions help collect the user design requirements:
The answers to these questions are different for each organization and will likely change over time. A successful BYOD solution has to consistently and correctly secure device access, but it also needs flexibility to accommodate more users, provide fine-grained access policies and flexible user assignment to policy groups.
After user requirements are gathered, system level design requirements need to be identified. For example:
During this phase, the Network Sentry appliance is integrated and provided with out of band management access and remote access for installation and setup of the appliance. Network infrastructure requirements for wired and wireless access should also be configured.
The Bradford Network Sentry NAC appliance can integrate with a wide range of campus network equipment and topologies. The diagram below shows how Network Sentry connects to an existing network.

Testing of the configuration ensures user policies work as required. Test cases with users can be defined for each user group and policy to verify network configuration and Network Sentry NAC appliance operation.
Validation tests are essential to ensure security policies are correctly applied. Each organization has its own IT procedures for validation of new solutions before enabling them on a production network. Brocade provides Validation Testing publications for selected features and technologies that may prove helpful when defining what types of testing to conduct.
The following diagram shows Base Design templates derived from the Campus Reference Architecture.
Solution Base Design (click to enlarge)
The design guide covers both a traditional core/distribution/access topology (Core + Distribution/Access templates) that is the Base Design, and alternate designs that include an efficient core/edge topology (Core + Edge templates) that are discussed later.
The Bradford Network Sentry appliance lets the network administrator create NAC polices that apply to all wired or wireless devices that connect to the campus network.
The base design meets the following requirements that are typical for a well-designed campus network:
Brocade's HyperEdge architecture for campus networks is specifically crafted to cost-effectively meet these requirements. With the introduction of the latest Brocade ICX Series of switches, mixed stacks, high performance PoE+ ports, unified wired and wireless management and a centralized WLAN controller cluster simplify how customers secure a BYOD environment. As more mobile devices connect to the network and more powerful devices come to market every 18 months, a HyperEdge network provides scalable bandwidth with low latency and low over-subscription.
The base design includes;
Bradford's Network Sentry NAC appliance is a flexible network security BYOD platform that can automatically identify and profile all wired/wireless devices and all users. Integration of Network Sentry extends the Management template defined in the Campus Reference Architecture and requires certain features to be configured in the Distribution/Access and/or Edge blocks.
Network Sentry integrates with existing infrastructure and correlates network, security, endpoint device, and user information to provide total visibility and control over every user and device accessing the network. Network Sentry solution can be deployed either as a dedicated hardware appliance, or as a virtual appliance 'in the cloud' to easily adapt to any network environment.
Network Sentry's out-of-band architecture leverages the inherent security capabilities of existing network equipment along with authentication and authorization technologies such as 802.1X, RADIUS and Active Directory for identity management.
The following diagram shows the out-of-band Network Sentry NAC architecture for wired and wireless devices.

As shown by the double headed arrows, Network Sentry identifies and monitors both wired and wireless clients depending on the access point the device connects from. Network Sentry integration requires minimal changes to the network switches and routers.
The following diagram illustrates the operation of Network Sentry when wired devices connect to the network. The VLAN configuration for the various types of traffic is not shown. Configuration of the Brocade network for wired devices requires SNMP traps to be directed to the Network Sentry SNMP server.

Network Sentry manages the wireless controller which in-turn manages the WAPs that wireless devices connect to. For additional information on Brocade Mobility Controller and Brocade Mobility Access Point configuration, please refer to the product specific Brocade configuration guides listed in the References.
1.Define Client WLANs and VLANs: Any wireless device connecting to the wireless network requires an SSID-based WLAN that is enabled and broadcast across the WAPs. As needed, multiple WLANs can be defined but only a selective few can be managed by Network Sentry for NAC enforcement.
Wireless devices connecting through an open/close SSID go through a VLAN assignment process. This corresponds to assigning clients to different states that include, but are not limited to, default (production), isolation (registration, quarantine, and authentication) or guest. Each WLAN representing a wireless network is defined with these states and VLANs in addition to enabling 'Allow RADIUS override' option for RADIUS based VLAN assignment. Any interface on the controller that is used to manage a WAP should be configured to trunk the different VLANs including the default or native VLAN.
2. Client Detection and Authentication: Network Sentry supports client authentication via MAC-authentication or 802.1x. Each WLAN on the controller is configured with the authentication type along with the associated parameters.
If MAC-authentication is chosen for a WLAN, Network Sentry acts as the RADIUS server. In the case of 802.1x, an external RADIUS server is required and additional parameters such as EAP and encryption type are also required.
3. Define AAA Policy and Association ACL: Any choice of authentication i.e., MAC-authentication or 802.1x, requires a WLAN to be mapped to a RADIUS server via an AAA policy. This policy is pre-defined on the WLAN controller with the following attributes in addition to any optional parameters:
As a wireless device transitions between different states and VLANs, such as isolation, authentication, production, guest, Network Sentry 'Blacklist's all devices during the dissociation, association state. This requires an 'Association ACL' to be mapped to each WLAN.
4. Map Wireless Radios to WLAN and AAA Policy: After defining a WLAN with all the mandatory and optional attributes, it is important to map the WLAN to each radio of the WAP. This ensures every wireless device connecting via the WAP radios goes through the NAC enforcement process configured for the Network Sentry appliance.
Non-Blocking Wireless LAN Architecture
All-in-one adaptive architecture that distributes intelligence, security and networking features with 802.11n performance
Comprehensive Wireless LAN Security
Standards based built-in security and intrusion protection across Controllers and WAPs in addition to Layer 2 firewall functionality
All-Wireless Enterprise High-Availability
No Single Point-of-failure via Mesh Technology and Adaptive APs along with Controller Clustering
This section summarizes how to configure the Network Sentry appliance to integrate with an existing Brocade wireless network. The Network Sentry appliance is configured and managed through a web-based GUI accessible from any browser.
Please refer to the Bradford published documentation for complete details about configuration and advanced options for the Network Sentry appliance
1. Define Network Type and Isolation VLANs: An important consideration when deploying Network Sentry is to specify the Network Type, e.g., Layer 2 or Layer 3. Depending on the type, specify either Layer 2 VLAN isolation networks or Layer 3 IP routed isolation networks and the corresponding client DHCP IP address ranges. It is recommended that the Network Sentry appliance use the Layer 3 Network Type to simplify future network expansion.
2. Topology Discovery and Device Modeling: BYOD policy enforcement requires every network access point to be reachable, monitored and managed in real time. The initial topology discovery process ensures IP and SNMP reachability to all devices (switches, routers, WLAN controllers and WAP) in addition to creating a network topology database. Device modeling allows Network Sentry to interact with devices for dynamic monitoring and identification of new and existing device connections and to manage device VLAN assignments which change based on the state of the device (Default, Isolation, Guest, and Employee).
3. Automatic Client Detection: Network Sentry based device modeling in combination with pre-configured wired and wireless infrastructure ensures all the wired clients are automatically detected via the SNMP link up, link down traps. Wireless clients are identified using RADIUS based MAC-authentication.
4. Configure Role-based Authentication: After the device is identified, an appropriate authentication policy is assigned based on the role the device is assigned to. All credentials for guest devices are entered in the Network Sentry configuration for local-authentication. However, all employee authentication uses external LDAP-based Active-Directory (AD) or RADIUS servers. Access to these from the Network Sentry appliance should be tested..
5. Web Portal Management:At the time of identification and authentication, every organization has unique requirements with respect to the look and feel of the landing web portal that the client is initially re-directed to. The Network Sentry GUI supports an Apache-based web portal that is customized to include company specific signage and a welcome page for different client roles, e.g., Guest, Employee Guest-registration.
Unified and Comprehensive Network Control and Visibility
Provides a single user-interface for provisioning and managing BYOD wired/wireless network with dynamic visibility into device connectivity
Distributed Multi-site Architecture
Multi-site BYOD network can be deployed and managed centrally from one location
Flexible Authentication Schemes
Client authentication via local database or LDAP based AD or via RAIDUS
The following diagram shows the Campus Core template and its building blocks. This template can be used with either the advanced core/edge or traditional core/distribution/access topology.
Campus Core with WLAN Controller Template (click to enlarge)
This template includes Core Routing and a central WLAN Controller block. It provides connectivity to the Internet and the data center core routers. It also connects to the Management Template for network management, NAC and sFlow traffic monitoring.
To allow for dynamic reachability across subnets in the design, the OSPF protocol is used across interfaces connected to the Distribution-Access Template, the Edge Template and to the data center core routers.
The Brocade FastIron SX Series chassis provides different slot capabilities for inserting data and management modules making it a cost-effective and scalable component for this block. In addition, the chassis supports full redundancy of management, switch-fabric and power module cards for high-availability.
As required, advanced IP requirements (e.g., BGP/IPV6 peering) for WAN connectivity can be easily enabled. For additional details, please refer to the documents related to the campus LAN reference architecture and FastIron SX Series switches.

The following diagram shows the Distribution-Access template and the building blocks used.
Distribution-Access Template (click to enlarge)
The Distribution block in the design mainly provides Layer 2 /Layer 3 transition point for all devices in connected to the Access block. Brocade SX Series chassis switches are common choices for this block.
The Access block uses stacking and supports PoE/PoE+ powered ports on one or more switches in the stack. ICX 6430/6450 switches are common choices for this block.
Layer 2/Layer 3 transition point requires redundancy for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. Multi-chassis Trunking (MCT) and LACP LAG provides link and node level redundancy for Layer 2 traffic and eliminates STP at Layer 2.
A resilient Layer 3 default-gateway is required. Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol-Extended (VRRP-E) provides a virtual default-gateway that spans both physical switches. VRRP-E is a Brocade enhancement to VRRP providing active/active switches in the cluster for improved performance.
Distribution with MCT and VRRP-E Block Detail (click to enlarge)
Multi Chassis Trunking (MCT)
Multi Chassis Trunking allows two switches to appear as one enabling design of a resilient and redundant router implementation
Provides standards based Link-level redundancy
Provides a virtual Layer 3 gateway, spanning across two individual network devices/switches
The Access block uses stacking for resiliency and scalability. Hitless fail-over of the master stack controller to a standby controller ensures data traffic continues to flow should the master controller go off-line. With the Brocade ICX Series, the ICX 6450 switch provides up to 48 1 GbE device ports, four 10 GbE uplink/stacking ports and the option for PoE/PoE+ power. Maximum stack size is eight switches providing 384 device ports. A licensed option provides Layer 3 routing services for the ICX 6450. For traffic monitoring, the ICX 6450 has sFlow built-in at no additional cost.
When WAPs, such as the Brocade Mobility 7131 Access Point, are connected to PoE/PoE+ switch ports, the WLAN Controller block can configure and set policies for all access points. This is shown by the dotted green line labeled "To WLAN Controller" in the diagram below. This feature simplifies configuration, management and monitoring of remote access points. As shown by "Indoor Mesh AP", Brocade Mobility Access Points can forward data traffic to other access points in the mesh. This eliminates data traffic going up to the core WLAN Controller and then back down to the destination access point removing traffic off uplinks and improving efficiency of WLAN traffic.
The ICX 6430 switch stack is an option for 1 GbE device connectivity device count is lower and only Layer 2 switching is needed. The ICX 6430 has four 1 GbE ports for stacking/uplinks and a stack maximum of four switches. Unlike the ICX 6450, the ICX 6430 does not have sFlow traffic monitoring available.
An optional external power supply, Brocade 6400 EPS, can be added to a stack when higher availability is required or when powering all ICX 6530/6450 ports at PoE+ power levels.

10 GbE stack & uplinks (ICX 6450)
Provide scalable, chassis-like redundancy on a single form factor switch
Powered Ethernet connection for devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras and WAPs to an access switch
sFlow traffic monitoring (ICX 6450)
Allows for standards based client traffic analysis at access Layer
Cost-optimized 1 GbE stack & uplinks (ICX 6430)
Cost-effective stacking for smaller device counts where the cost of 10 GbE stack & uplinks are not necessary.
SNMP Trap Generation
Enables NAC based client detection via Link Up/Down Traps
An alternative design for this solution adds an Edge template as shown below.
Alternate Design with Edge Template (click to enlarge)
The Edge template collapses the distribution/access layers into a single management element simplifying the network and reducing cost. The Edge template can be added to the Base design or can be used without a Distribution/Edge template, as appropriate.
The following diagram shows the Edge template. It contains an Edge block and a WAP block. Edge blocks terminate Layer 2 traffic within the stack and provide PoE/PoE+ powered ports. Traffic is routed at Layer 3 on uplinks from the Edge template to the Core template.
Edge Template with PoE/PoE+ and WAP (click to enlarge)
The ICX Series includes a powerful new stacking switch, the ICX 6610 with 40 GbE stacking connections and eight 10 GbE uplink ports. This block supports PoE/PoE+ powered ports with a maximum of 384 device ports per stack. Redundant power and cooling provide high availability. Inclusion of the Layer 3 license adds OSPF routing services. Hitless fail-over means non-stop traffic flow should the master switch go off-line. For traffic monitoring, the ICX 6450 has sFlow built-in at no additional cost.
The 40 GbE stacking ports ensure over-subscription rates within the stack approach 1:1 even with all devices flowing at the maximum line rate of 1 GbE. Eight 10 GbE ports per switch deliver low-oversubscription of uplinks to the Core block.
When WAPs, such as the Brocade Mobility 7131 Access Point, are connected to PoE/PoE+ switch ports, the WLAN Controller block can configure and set policies for all access points. This is shown by the dotted green line labeled "To WLAN Controller" in the diagram below. This feature simplifies configuration, management and monitoring of remote access points. As shown by "Indoor Mesh AP", Brocade Mobility Access Points can forward data traffic to other access points in the mesh. This eliminates data traffic going up to the core WLAN Controller and then back down to the destination access point removing traffic off uplinks and improving efficiency of WLAN traffic.

Another alternative design substitutes a stacking block for the distribution layer instead of the MCT+VRRP-E block. The diagram below shows the Distribution/Access template with this block substitution.
Alternate Distribution/Access Template with Distribution Stack (click to enlarge)
The Access and WLAP AP blocks are the same as shown in the Base Design.
The ICX Series includes a powerful new stacking switch, the ICX 6610 with 40 GbE stacking connections and eight 10 GbE uplink ports. This block supports a maximum of 384 device ports per stack. Redundant power and cooling provide high availability. Inclusion of the Layer 3 license adds OSPF routing services. Hitless fail-over means non-stop traffic flow should the master switch go off-line. For traffic monitoring, the ICX 6610 has sFlow built-in at no additional cost.

Good document. I need few clarifications :--
1) What other components do I need besides Bradford, Brocade switches if I want the ability to do MAC-based VLAN authentication. Do I need separate Radius server ?
2) Can Bradford act as Radius server as well as NAC appliance ?
3) Cannot find the config for Brocade switches.
Thanks Faisal for your comment and questions. BYOD implementation with Bradford using MAC-authentication requires a RADIUS server which is in-built into Bradford Network Sentry appliance. No other external RADIUS server is necessary. Based on your feedback, I have updated the document with the necessary Brocade VLAN configuration.
For additional configuration details, please feel free to refer to the deployment guide as well.
It would be helpful to add ICX config in the bradford deployment guide and not necessarily in design guide.
From the content section in the deployment guide, there should be item for ICX config similar to Bradford and wireless section.

Turn Your Kayak Into a Science Lab That Plays Trippy Music
Some people prefer utter silence as they kayak down a river. The ambient sounds of birds flapping their wings or water whooshing beneath them is sufficient. Others, however, might opt for a little music. Or how about some eerie, underwater sounds that can help scientists track pollution and climate change?

Well, I have to tell you guys how i bought this amazing shirt! I was walking on a very cold Sunday in Barcelona with my old friend Carolina, and we went to this market where a lof of hippies were selling their stuff to get some cash! And I saw this amazing shirt, it was love at first sight! So I asked the girl "how much it cost". She said the price and when I was buying it, her boyfriend jumped in the middle of the conversation and said "no please, i can't let this shirt go, i love it so much". So the girl said "let it go, he bought it already".
And the hippie explained to me that it was his favourite shirt in the world, but they decided to sell everything, so i had to promised him that i would wear this piece everywhere and have a lot of fun with it, to honor the shirt hahaha! So, i think i'm doing it 😉

Last night saw a successful cluster of awards and commendations at the Corporate & Financial Awards 2015 at the Grosvenor Square Marriott.
We were delighted to pick up a Highly Commended award for our English/French Website and Annual Report for Mazars International.
A Silver award came our way for best Corporate Website within the AIM/Small cap category for Sweett Group plc.
And last but not least, a Gold award for best printed annual report for our work with Cambian Group plc.
The judges loved the report, saying "…it was a stunning and usable report becoming a reference tool for internal stakeholders and a healthy example of good practice within the industry."
Not only a great outcome for the Cambian team but also very satisfying given this was their first annual report following their recent IPO.
Hopefully the start of a few more awards following a season of hard work but let's wait and see!

CHANDIGARH: A recent survey on government's plan to shift small and marginal farmers away from unprofitable agriculture and engage them in economically viable activities, has found the government initiatives lacking in preparing the farmers undertake the transition.
The survey has revealed that the dropout rate among the farmers' children is so high that only 0.4% of students reach the post graduation level and only 5% get technical education. Also, only 73% of posts of teachers are filled in rural areas.
The rural schools are facing an economic exclusion – majority of these students being from scheduled castes. Farmers of upper strata of villages are sending their children to private schools, which however do not have qualified and sufficient staff.
The survey found that in a test conducted in 147 government and 174 private schools on the syllabus of class V and VI syllabus, only 16% students of mathematics and 31% of science in the government school could answer questions. The same ratio in private schools was 3% and 8% respectively. And 12% and 16% of mathematics and science students respectively in government schools could not offer a single answer. In private schools, 21% students just could not offer any reply about questions on mathematics.
The study has suggested that a separate cadre of rural teachers should be created and that a teacher should work for 10 years in rural areas before being transferred to urban areas. For ensuring attendance of teachers, biometric and SMS-based attendance should be introduced, it said.

Scott F. Evans
The good news is that Warcraft – the Duncan Jones helmed adaptation of the massively popular video game – isn't a complete train-wreck. The bad news is that if you're not a fan of the game, the movie is nearly impenetrable. It's so fan-centric that it almost repels casual viewers. Jones and screenwriter Charles Leavitt play hard to the base and expect the rest of us to play catch up.
Or not.
The problem with Warcraft is that we've seen all of this before. We've seen the knights and the magic and the computer generated creatures. We've been watching this movie since Peter Jackson kicked off his Lord of the Rings/Hobbit Trilogies way back in 2001. Game of Thrones has been doing it every week since it debuted in 2011. The only thing that Jones has done differently is give equal screen time to his lumbering Orc protagonists. That's fine, but after we get finished marveling at the insane amount of work the FX team did to bring these characters to life, we still have to suffer through a stale predictable script. There's not an original moment or fresh take in Warcraft's entire two hour run-time. Even the sympathetic non-human story-line has been done (better) with the revamped Planet of the Apes franchise.
As hard as most of the cast tries, they can't elevate this hilariously somber script. There are a few moments of forced levity (which this film desperately needs) but they're mostly at the expense of one character. The rest of the cast play this like Warcraft is a piece of high-minded theater. Maybe to hardcore fans of the game, it is.
As this film preaches to its already converted masses, the rest of us remain disconnected. Warcraft is not a good film. It's indulgent, banal and more than a little impressed with itself. But it's not a terrible film either. It's just so laser focused on satisfying its gamer audience that it forgot to entertain the rest of us as well.
RATING: Wait for it to hit home video. Maybe.

We went to a baseball game last week.Baseball is very popular in the United States.But for the chinese, we are not really familiar with this sport. However, I'was impressed by this amusing experience.
The baseball field is very large,audiencs sat around and watched the game.Eating a variety of snacks seems integral
to enjoy the baseball game,so we tried a lot of interesting food.People chatted on the seat and cheered for a nice hit.It's a great leisure time to stay with family and friends.
The most memorable thing in OSU is that people and animals can live in harmony and joy.This reminds me of the time at the Wuhan University.
There are lots of lovely squirrels in the OSU.Squirrels like to live in tall old tree branches in the nest.If we wander around the college in the morning,We can often find squirrels running on the lawn or shuttle in the tree.
The squirrel eat of time, they often straight body, holding to their mouth with the forepaws to pick-mouth delivery.

I could probably sit here and type out a quick dozen cliches about what it takes to be creative. We've all heard them. We've all sat there trying to think of some idea that will really challenge us… really get the creative juices flowing…. right? Not that easy, is it?
Let's deconstruct the idea a little differently.
Creativity requires you to fill a void or a need. You're trying to do something different, right? You want that personal satisfaction of feeling like you discovered something… created something.
I would suggest, if you're feeling stagnant, you need friction. You need something to frustrate you and get in your way. Get riled up… get defiant. (Don't get angry… that's going too far. The next thing you know you'll start drinking. You start drinking and then you're hanging out in saloons. Hanging out in saloons with a camera will get you into arguments with movie stars. Movie stars hate paparazzi. Movie stars punch the paparazzi. Don't get punched.)
I'm guessing many of you have felt that urge that you really want to go out and shoot. You optimistically feel you're going to get up, grab your camera and head out shooting… returning home with something really fresh, really outstanding and having enjoyed the entire creative process.
And you fail. You can't think of what you want to shoot. Everything looks ordinary… everything looks like the same piece of tree bark or rusty metal shed door you shot the last time you felt this way.
Here's my suggestion... Get rid of your crutch.
Think about this. The camera company sells you this digital wonder with all its technological wizardry that is going to remove all the mundane routine of taking pictures so you are free to be creative. The magic DSLR is going to become transparent liquid in your hands and grant you creative freedom. You'll simply point, shoot and produce beautiful butterflies or, dare I say… triple rainbows. Not!
What's getting in your way is your camera.
Buy a simple 50mm prime lens. Maybe a 40mm if you're dealing with a crop sensor. Then, turn off the autofocus. Learn to manually sett the exposure. If you're going to leave anything on Auto, shoot aperture preferred… that is where you set the aperture and the camera decides on the shutter. Then, just for the heck of it… set the camera on monochrome and maybe 400 ISO.
Make this your de facto rig and setup for a few months… try it. No zoom… no auto focus… just you framing a subject, selecting an aperture and shutter speed… and taking everything into consideration. Go ahead… I dare you.
Now you have some friction. Now you're thinking. Now your flying without a net. Everything is up to you.
You might find something out about yourself. You might find out you've got a lot more to learn. You will find out the camera has been doing your thinking for you… and telling you little white lies.
The point is, removing all the conveniences of your modern day digital SLR puts you in the drivers seat. Now you're making the decisions. You weigh out the pros and cons of every decision you make. You're in control.
If you shoot the same camera with the same prime lens, using the same ISO and monochrome settings you'll develop (no pun) a baseline for appraising and comparing your results. With monochrome you'll pay attention to exposing the shadows and the working with the direction of the light… not worrying that the red is off or the green is too bright.
Shooting this way, you'll pay attention to the light and shadows. Your compositions will become structured. You'll step forward, move back and you'll work with traits of one focal length and develop an understanding for that basic point of view.
Most importantly, you'll become more responsible for what the camera sees and how YOU interpret the scene. You'll have to think it through.
I've been shooting with a Leica rangefinder for nearly two years now. While I love shooting with it, it's had its ups and downs. But the byproduct is I've become a better photographer. And, I can now reproduce my rangefinder style when I shoot with a DSLR. My friends assume all my black and white work is shot with my Leica. They'd be surprised how often they're wrong.
Shooting with limited auto-wizardry makes you think. It makes you stop and consider what you're doing. The process of choosing the exposure is typically only an slight adjustment. The light isn't suddenly shifting four or five stops… it's a 1/2 stop hearer and there. Aperture is somewhat predetermined since I'm fairly aware of where I want the depth of field. So all I'm really left with is focusing, composing my image and squeezing the shutter. My mind and thoughts are all about composing the image. For me, my time shooting with my Leica is when I truly experience the camera disappearing from the process of shooting a photo.
Both Canon and Nikon make very affordable 50mm and 40mm lens. If you're serious about getting better, I'd urge you to pick one up. I'd especially consider a 40mm if your camera is not a full frame. Go out with it. Shoot. Think about your shots. Think about how you can best frame and compose the shot.
Trust me, it will change the way you shoot… all the time.

text: The Coleman LED torch is different from standard torches and flashlights in that it uses Battery Lock™ technology, which preserves battery life by disconnecting batteries when the torch is not in use. In most torches, battery consumption occurs even when switched off because the batteries remain connected to the circuit. Battery Lock stops batteries from draining when idle and corrosion is reduced. To use, simply twist the bezel to engage and disengage the lock system. Batteries will be detached from the battery compartment and stored. The torch is housed in robust and weatherproof aluminium casing with a light output of 250 lumens. Press the push-button to turn the torch on and off, for easy operation. Never let drained batteries hinder you in the dark again.

text: The good news is Dreamweaver provides numerous windows, panels, inspectors, and bars for streamlining the way you build websites. The bad news, unfortunately, is that Dreamweaver provides numerous windows, panels, inspectors, and bars for streamlining the way you build websites. Why so many windows, panels, etc.? Dreamweaver is unprecedented in the feature set it provides, allowing developers complete control when building websites and applications. For instance, the Document window allows developers editing with unusually precise pin-point accuracy, bars for visually inserting HTML elements in the development environment, and numerous panels and inspectors for customizing those elements after they've been inserted. For every benefit Dreamweaver provides to developers in terms of customization, the learning curve goes up. This chapter aims at leveling the learning curve by introducing you to the myriad of windows, panels, inspectors, bars, and menus. Although I certainly won't deconstruct each and every feature, I will provide a gentle, yet concise overview of each and every piece of functionality Dreamweaver has to offer before unveiling them all as the chapters unfold.

The nightmare of being employed as an office temp is given whimsical homage by San Francisco stand-up comic Josh Kornbluth in his semi-autobiographical first person comedy "Haiku Tunnel."
Proudly wearing its shoestring budget on its sleeve, the picture is introduced and frequently interrupted by Kornbluth -- a sweetly roly-poly, balding but wild-haired nebbish who stands in front of a chalkboard to illustrate crazy points from the ensuing story. The narrative proper follows Kornbluth, playing himself, through the oddball events of a temp job he once held at a SF law firm -- a job he screwed up pretty badly.
Adapted from his recent one-man show of the same name, "Haiku Tunnel" has the ring of humorous authenticity as our hero nervously plods his way through a sleep-inducing employee orientation, endures computer meltdowns and the scorn of the secretary pool, puts up with a patronizing boss and -- of course -- boosts office supplies, pausing to note for the viewer that Uniball Micropens are his favorite.

This program can be used "standalone" or in conjunction with our Hypnosis Program: You are Irresistible.
The inaudible voice reiterates the affirmations from the You Are Irresistible hypnosis program, and thus helps you to achieve the positive results that you want.
This program does not need to be listened to in its entirety - so listen to it for as long or as little as you like. If you listen right through, you will be exposed to several complete cycles of the affirmations.
Even if you fall asleep during the program the desired positive results will still manifest.

Listen to this program anytime in a place where you can give it your full attention and have the freedom to relax.
Never listen to this program while driving or operating a machine - it induces a safe and pleasant state of relaxation.
Although subliminal messaging may be new to you, it is completely safe. Inaudible subliminal messages are recorded under soothing nature sounds.
If you are listening before sleeping (recommended), you will drift into a pleasant and restful sleep after the program ends.
Even if you fall asleep during the program, the powerful suggestions will still reach your subconscious mind, have a positive effect, and will manifest maximum results.
Listening to this program at any other time also induces a state of deep relaxation, from which you will return refreshed.

I'm a Grammy Nominated Artist. Want to See My Royalty Statements?
The following comes from Armen Chakmakian, a Grammy-nominated composer, keyboardist, and recording artist.
There are tons of articles about music streaming sites like Pandora, Spotify, etc in relation to recording artists making money or not. Here's a screen capture of my quarterly royalty statement. 14,227 performances of music (almost every track 100% owned by me) generated $4.20. Notice one performance of "Ceremonies" or "Distant Lands" streaming radio show like Hearts of Space that brings in 26 cents for the full writer's share compared to 2,088 performances of "Gypsy Rain" on Spotify that brought in a total of 60 cents.
Someone's making money, and in true fashion with the music industry, it's not the artists. Business practices like this are one of the reasons I jumped ship and only write for television now.
Please note that the SoundExchange statement includes additional entities not listed on my BMI streaming section. Please see the "Earnings by Entity" section of the SoundExchange statements and you'll see Cable Radio, SiriusXM, Music Choice, etc. Those companies are not part of that $4.20 payment from my BMI statement.
BMI and SoundExchange are my only known sources to collect money for my music that's used on these streaming services.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2-inch rectangular (non-metal) baking dish. Stir in the grapefruit juice, Champagne, and fleur de sel.
Carefully place the dish on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for one hour, rake the granita with a large dinner fork, and return it to the freezer. Continue to rake the granita every 30 minutes, until it's firm and granular. This might take as long as 3 hours. Serve frozen in pretty bowls or stemmed glasses.

I picked this up because it promised to be either fabulous or terrible. I'm delighted to be able to report that it is FABULOUS and also tender and sweet, and surprisingly even-handed. Don't get me wrong, it isn't all introspection and religious musings. Most of it is blindingly hilarious. It's just not all shallow and fun-pokey like I thought it was going to be.
A J Jacobs is an agnostic Jew who sets out to live all the rules of the Bible (
even especially the crazy ones) as literally as possible. He does this in part because it will give him something to write a book about, and he has to admit this to you because he's not allowed to lie because it says so in the Bible. More altruistically, however, he is also trying to chart some sort of spiritual territory so that his son won't grow up to be a crack addict on the East Side. Conversely, he also wants to 'to take legalism to its logical extreme and show that it leads to righteous idiocy.'
I'm not really touchy about spiritual things, but that last had me thinking I probably wouldn't be passing this book along to people who are. However, Jacobs does a fairly good job of weeding out legitemately crazy from chronically misunderstood. He seems genuinely interested in discovering the intent behind some of the more obscure commandments, and his efforts produce surprising results. A verse about not boasting about your future, but saying instead, God willing we will do such-and-such, prompts him to tag the phrase 'God willing' onto everything he said. Besides rather hilariously reminding me of my brother's 'Damn you' phase (Pass me the peas, damn you. Let's go see a movie, damn you), it forces Jacobs to be constantly aware of the tenuousness of life.
Like any good Jew, Jacobs experiences moments of doubt, where it seemed that his newfound spirituality attracted simply because of its 'novelty factor' and its status as a backlash against our spiritually arid, ferociously individualistic society. Other times, he feels defeated by the inevitability of using the Bible (or any religion, really) as a sort of self-help scheme. This will make me a more giving person, this will make me more content, etc. But hey, what are you going to do, right? Doing good things for shitty reasons is better than not doing them at all, I always say.
And then, of course, he has to grow out his beard and wear long robes of unmixed fibers and avoid all fruits picked from trees less than five years old, and this is where the hilarity comes in. He carries around a portable stool to avoid having to sit on any chair that might have been sat on by a woman on her period (this after his irritated, menstruating wife deliberately sat on every available surface in the house). He stoned (quite gently and with many apologies) people who looked like they might be breaking the Sabbath. And he took two pot-shots at James Frey, who I hate with the intensity of ten fires. For this and this alone, A J Jacobs, I will love you forever.
I'm looking back over this review and realizing what a terrible job I'm doing of YOU MUST READ THIS BOOKing you in the face. But really, you must. Great ideas often go so very badly in literature (see: The Penelopiad), but there is no way this could have been done better.
Nine caterpillars.

Gov. Pat Quinn declined to say today whether he will sign a bill abolishing the death penalty, saying only he would reflect and "follow my conscience."
Quinn's comment came as he prepared to hold his first news conference since the momentous votes Tuesday in the General Assembly that sent him a death penalty ban and then, in the wee hours of this morning, a major income tax increase.
The Democratic-led Senate approved the legislation Tuesday by a vote of 35-22, with two senators voting present. The House approved the measure a week earlier.

Anyhow, this is the fist major update of iOS 9 series even we reached iOS 9.0.1 and iOS 9.0.2 mid of iOS 9 and iOS 9.1. After five pre-releases, iOS 9.1 released as another successful iOS version. Surely, the jailbreak community too was there to welcome the next update to fulfill iOS 9.1 jailbreak as their latest achievement.

Therefore, let's concern whether we will be able to replace it as Pangu 9 jailbreak for iOS 9.1.
Pangu 9 jailbreak

While we are waiting to reach iOS 9 few months ago, most jailbreak teams raised with their proclamations for the jailbreak iOS 9.

By the way, the Taig was the jailbreak team who crowned with jailbreak iOS 8.4 just before the iOS 9 jailbreak of Pangu.

On Tuesday we met up with two of my friends for a somewhat spontaneous day at the lake. Between two of us, there are 4 boys and next summer there will be 6 little boys between the 3 of us. I think all play dates will now include caffeine for the mom's. Ha! I think half the state was at the lake that day because it was so hot. However my favorite lake with my favorite people was definitely a favorite.
This is techinically from the same day, but this picture makes me so happy! I have very, very few candid pictures of Little Man and I. My friend snapped this and sent it to me. It is hard to believe in 6 weeks or so it will no longer be just him and I. I know without a doubt I will miss these days of just the two of us. He may drive me crazy some days but he really is the best sidekick and I love being his mom. This picture is how I will remember this summer. He and I just hanging out at the beach as much as possible.
We got a new couch this week. Please ignore the super ugly bare walls and toys everywhere this was seconds after it was delivered. (#reallife) Our old couch was actually a loveseat. It was perfect for a condo, but really too small for a family and really too small for my large husband. We have talked about the day we would have a real couch for years, so this was a big day for us.
On the back of our property we have a TON of blackberries. This week they have started to ripen enough to eat. One after Little Man and I went down to check them out. Little Man LOVES berries and fruit in general. I really thought he might hyperventilate when he realized he was surrounded by blackberries. He only ate one green berry before he sort of got the hang of picking berries. He would half pick a berry and wait until I gave him the final okay before he plopped it in his mouth. The first time he got pricked, that was the end of berry picking. He toddled himself back up to the house and was done. I think his father has plans to take him back down there for more picking this weekend.
I built a crib! Now normally, I have China Man do all the building and putting together of things. It is kind of one of those unwritten marriage agreements. He builds everything and I wash all the dishes. However as mentioned, he is working a lot and when he is home he is focused on spending time with Little Man and keeping our yard from becoming a jungle. So I took matter into my own hands. I reminded myself I used to be an independent lady who handled things and I could handle a little ol crib. Truth be told, I may have had it half together before I realized it was backwards. That was a low moment. I forged on and the crib was finished.
Those are some of the high points of my week. Happy Weekending!
